Managing storage on your GoogleDrive can be a pain sometimes. To make sure you always have space, here's how to delete a file from your Google Drive.
From the get-go, Google Drive gives all of its users 15GB of storage space on their cloud, but it might not take you long to take up all the available space. Nothing to worry about, though, because this guide will teach you how to delete files from Google Drive to free up space.
Step 3: You should now be looking at a list of files sorted according to size with the largest file at the top. Click on a file you wish to delete by simply clicking on it. You can select multiple files by holding down the Ctrl/Command key on your keyboard and clicking on the files you want to remove.
Step 5: You will see that your files are gone but you haven’t freed up any space. That’s because Google keeps those files in the trash folder for 30 days before permanently deleting them. If you want to permanently delete those files, you will have to do it manually. To do this, go to the Bin or Trash section in the left sidebar.
Step 7: Once you have your files selected, simply click on the bin icon that says Delete forever in the toolbar at the top. You may also right-click on the selected files and select Delete forever.
